Reviews

[Kathryn Beal]

Quick read and review of sign language basics.

[Rachel]

I don’t recommend this book. It’s inconsistent in relation to ASL—defining some things in terms of letter hand-shapes that seem needlessly complicated for hearing babies, but also using right/left hand instead of dominant/non-dominant. There also aren’t pictures for every sign, and some of the ones without pictures really need them.

[Lino Matteo]

Hey want can be wrong with a book that teaches you mama, papa and nonno? (Yes, nonna, too! )

[Maeve]

A short, but useful, list of ASL words to introduce to your baby or toddler. The book also includes some advice on common problems that occur with teaching your child ASL.

[Marie-Sharrane]

Seventy-five essential signs that anyone can learn and not just babies.

[Patrice]

This was a very short book, that didn't really relay any new information about the benefits or implementation of baby sign language and I don't necessarily agree with the signs the author chose as essential.

[Jennifer Way]

This is okay. It only has pictures for some basic signs. Would be nice to have photos or illustrations for all.

[Janie]

grayscale pics... ok. no whole foods... ok. no index... oy.

[Jen]

Gives you all of the basics in a quick easy format.

[Lauren Bridgeman]

Quick read. I wish there was a website with attached video tutorials.
I ending up looking up most of the signs on BabySignLanguage.com
